Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, For months every morning when I wake up I feel sore and my back really bothers me. It lessens when I get up and around. It really feels like my muscles are sore and I ve been working out. I awaken off and on all night. Why would my muscles be sore?
Hi I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I should suggest a change in the mattress. That is the most common cause of such aches in the back that resolve on waking up and mobilizing. Some physiotherapy and back strengthening exercises would help. However, removal of the cause is the most important. Also, if you have been working out and the pain has started after that, I would recommend using a trainer to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. Of course an MRI of the spine would help, but without examination, it would be a guess to suggest that you should test MRI of LS spine. Best of luck, Dr Mittal
